Mankind Violence is Violence

ManKind, a charity supporting male victims of domestic abuse in the UK, ran a fascinating experiment in London recently exploring public reactions to domestic violence in which the perpetrators are women. In response to the elevator brawl involving Solange Knowles and Jay-Z, Mankind got talking, not about #WhatJayZSaidToSolange, but about the domestic abuse, and about men and women. Would people interfere if they saw a man attacking a woman? Most likely. But would they intervene if they saw a woman attacking a man? The campaign is backed up with the hashtag #ViolenceIsViolence.

The ManKind Initiative, based in Taunton, Somerset, is a national charity which runs a help-line, information and referral service for male victims of domestic abuse and domestic violence.
